Creatine every once-in-a-while

justind123 Posts: 25 Joined: 2007/10/27	2007/11/23, 02:56 AM Because I have have a jar of creatine laying around my house (about a year old), and I'm not that into taking supplements (not to sound like a snob), would it be beneficial to just every once-in-a-while take a heaping spoonful of creatine (like one or two a week)?

For gains you need to use it and use it all the time with a cycle and it worked but when I decide just to use it for recovery purposes it wasn't a smart move and BCAA's have taken over the recovery supplement for me! -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

It won't hurt you, but if you don't see the results you are after, then you know why. If nothing else, it will keep your creatine stores at least at baseline. -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Mortal by birth. Strongman by the grace of god. Blood Guts Sweat Chalk
